Higher education at Red River Lumber
Texas A&M University-Texarkana and Red River Lumber have formed a new academic partnership that will enable Red River Lumber employees to take courses at the university at a discounted rate. The partnership was officially sealed with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding on February 11, 2025, on the Texas A&M University-Texarkana campus, according to a press release.
“We are excited to add Red River Lumber to the more than 100 community partnerships we now have throughout the area,” said A&M-Texarkana President Dr. Ross Alexander. “For more than 30 years Red River Lumber has served the Texarkana community and beyond by selling high-quality building materials. We look forward to helping their employees meet their education goals and further their careers.”
Under the partnership, full-time employees of Red River Lumber are eligible to receive a tuition discount on all undergraduate, graduate, certificate, or micro-credential programs whether in-person, online or through a hybrid format. The agreement also waives the standard application fee. In addition to the tuition discount, any eligible employee who is a new student at the university will receive the First Flight Scholarship, which gives new students their first class free if they are enrolled in at least 6 hours at the undergraduate or graduate level.
Employees must meet the admissions standards of the program to which they apply and must remain in good academic standing. View more information about the partnership here.
